I'm starting my research on "Wow Creators" by looking for New York Times Best Selling Authors on the Web. One that caught my eye today was spy thriller novelist, Gayle Lynds.
Lynds' latest novel, The Last Spymaster, is about Charles Jay Tice, who was a legendary figure in the CIA and the intelligence world towards the end of the Cold War. But he was also a traitor, having sold secrets that seriously compromised the U.S. for years to come. Since his conviction, he's been kept in the tightest maximum security prison under the closest of security. Until one morning, his cell is discovered empty. Tice has disappeared without even the hint of trace. Agent Elaine Cunningham is a hunter, assigned to find Tice quickly, before the rest of the world knows he's gone. But she soon finds out that something is very wrong. This is more than just an impossible escape by a master spy. It's a much bigger, deeper, and more dangerous conspiracy than one old spook's last run for freedom.
I spent quite a bit of time on Gayle Lynds' site today - www.GayleLynds.com . It's crisp, polished and chocked with audio interviews you can listen to and learn more about how a best selling thriller novelists researches and writes. There's also a You Tube video of her explaining the difference between mystery and thriller.
